George Steinbrenner to miss Stadium finale

From Ed Price:
George Steinbrenner is not expected to attend Sunday night's Yankee Stadium finale, but a number of Yankees Hall of Famers will be on hand, and fans who show up early will be able to walk onto the field.

Steinbrenner, the Yankees owner, made it to July's All-Star Game, where he was honored on the field before the game. But word was Friday he does not plan to fly up from Tampa, Fla., for the finale.
(hat tip to River Ave. Blues)

It's ashame he's not going to be able to attend the festivities, hopefully he will make it to the opening of the new stadium next year.

The article also states that Steinbrenner's four children, Hal and Hank Steinbrenner, Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal and Jessica Steinbrenner, will all be in attendance.
